Week 4Day 1 Domestic Worlds and Public WorldsReadings: GCC Part IIICR Berkowitz, Can a Gay Man Be a Housewife? First Response Paper Due Wednesday February 2

Summary of Previous Week

If we are looking to the primate for a record of Hunter and Gatherer behaviors then we must be very careful indeed not to anthropomorphize characteristics in either direction.

This is an oversimplification but it is the essence.

As I said, the research changes weekly, when new fossil evidence, genomics or simply a paradigmatic shift in the understanding of gender in prehistory emerges theories move to accommodate new information.

Public Private and
Sexual Division of Labor and Gender Stratification

Opposition of public to private a modernistic modality/dyad based on androcentric anthropological analyses rooted in Victorian western ideology. Still, they are hard to elide. [way too much was made about, doesn’t mean that we should ignore this sector; specific set of ideas: even though we know that public and private are these black and white thing, we changed our opinion that there is still some difficulty found in the public priveate split; ]

Pervasive asymmetry between the sexes
Traditional Dyadic reading of Gendered Behaviors or as they were called then “Sex Role Theory” held that public=powered=political=male
private=disempowered=home=mothering=female
a post feminist, more nuanced inspection saw women’s bargains with both patriarchy and their “real” circumstances.

To be male is to disassociate from female realm

Three issues that are key to the discussion as feminism emerged:

Is male domination universal? In some sense yes, but it does not look the same everywhere. Is male domination explained by the public private split?
No. Because this appears differently depending on the context… Under what conditions does domestic and public split have relevance? Good Question…

Domestic and public spheres interpenetrate
All this implicates gender, status and power
Informal power more important than once conceived
Women’s circumstances must be seen by women

SUSPECT THE UNIVERSAL

More complex women use private space differently depending on time.

Margery Wolf- Taiwan-uterine family structure

Rosaldo suggests an analysis of gendered relationships and hierarchies “Womaness” not definite as defined by Westerners

Colonialism- perhaps the place where Public/Private emerges as a theme? A Victorian legacy?

Gender Relationships rather than women should be a focus

Not all women can be treated as part of the “universal” category of woman

Civilized/native another hierarchal paradigm
Parallel sex system- separate but equal=native
Civilized=men in political control

The Controversy of Domestic Violence
Marc Henry Saad
Lebanese American University
Presented to Dr. Nabila Ataya
Every man on Earth has been given birth by a woman, his mother. The most important someone in a man’s life is his mother; he idealizes her and learns from her. Therefore a man must cherish every woman and respect her because in fact, if it wasn’t for a woman, none of us would have been here. Another hugely important woman in a man’s life is his wife....

...Hello World!
A "Hello, world!" program is a computer program that outputs "Hello, World!" (or some variant thereof) on
a display device. Because it is typically one of the simplest programs possible in most programming
languages, it is by tradition often used to illustrate to beginners the most basic syntax of a programming
language. It is also used to verify that a language or system is operating correctly.
